Chapter 18

“I don’t see you that way. I see a man whose face and eyes light up when he smiles. Last night and this morning you said some things that showed real insight when we spoke about people, politics, and the environment. You also care about those around you and try to help even though you make light of your own troubles and you could use a hand yourself. You took extra shifts so the others could be there for Jason, Jack, and Bobby. You’re not average. Your name may be Gray, but you aren’t.” Enzo patted Gray’s hand. He liked how soft his skin was and he had long, elegant fingers. Enzo grabbed Gray’s hand and held it lightly in his.
